He skimmed and slipped over Your skin, which he wished Was his to touch; he stitched His hand to yours and gripped So hard you felt your bones, Crush, curdle, you plead, don't let go But he did, he tore away Two weaved hands, they bled that day Raw, afraid, with dread you felt Your way through the darkness in which you dwelt The hand it scarred, it left its marks On the walls you scraped, bled, dried and marred

Skinned
He skimmed and slipped over Your skin, which he wished Was his to touch; he stitched His hand to yours and gripped So hard you felt your bones, Crush, curdle, you plead, don't let go But he did, he tore away Two weaved hands, they bled that day Raw, afraid, with dread you felt Your way through the darkness in which you dwelt The hand it scarred, it left its marks On the walls you scraped, bled, dried and marred
